The big-box machines (A2000, A3000, A4000) all come
with ISA slots, which
are inline with the Zorro-II/III slots. The thing is, without a
bridgeboard installed, the ISA slots aren't active. They require the
bridgeboards, whether from CBM or others, to generate the various signals
on the bus. Of course, with them being inline with the Zorro slots, any
bridgeboard/ISA combination you install blocks the usage of at least two
Zorro slots.
That depends on form factors, of course. While most Zorro cards indeed are
full-length, there is a number of shorter cards which will work in tandem with
a half-length ISA card. My mate with an ISA NE2000 has got a Buddha IDE
controller in the Zorro slot behind the NIC, for example. There were some SCSI
controllers of such length, too.
